I read this thread and I am still confused: I have a 2004 M3 and wanted to get this setup working for it. I looked under the hood and did not see any round 20 pin connectors there. The only thing I see is the rectangle OBDII connector in the cabin near the driver foot. What cable do I need to get for this? Will this cable suffice: http://www.amazon.com/OBD2-Diagnosti...5627499&sr=1-1

Ignition must be on. Engine can be on or off, depending on what jobs you wish to attend to. Be aware that a prolonged session (40+minutes) can flatten the vehicle battery. Do not reset the Adaptations with the engine running.

Has anyone with MS.43 DME used the any software packages/cables to open DSC pump valves for brake bleeding? I have been reading a ton of information on various sites, and this information still proves to be alluding me. I just ordered a USB to OBDII cable and realize that I will need to do a pin mod in order to access both k-lines, but I am unsure as to whether the ABS/DSC module will be available for bleeding out the air (yes I let my brake fluid get too low while changing brake lines and rebuilding calipers ) Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Figured it out to get the E46 to show
Edit the file 'C:\EC-APPS\INPA\CFGDAT\INPA.INI' in Notepad, locate the section that starts with '//F3', remove the slashes at the beginning of the three lines of text, and amend any instance of 'F10' to 'E46'.

hello guys: which are the steps do I should follow for clear the airbag light (passenger side)? Thanks!

I think you need to choose multi-restraint system, in the dialog window where you have Engine, Chassis, etc to choose from. Or maybe it is buried under some other category, can't remember... And then choose error, there you will be able to read/clean the code.

I know it is beyond the scope but it INPA doesn't work for you, you can try DIS, which has better compatibility I believe. I might have cleaned my airbag code using DIS, but I am not 100% sure. It can be done.
